Thank you for the link. I've been researching this family for some time...Minerva's sister Margaret is said to be my Grandfather's mother but I'm almost sure he was adopted by the Wickham family. Oral family history says my Grandfather was an orphan from Terre Haute Indiana. I thought I might find some descendants of the Ropp family that may have some information.<br><br>I know Minerva and Thomas were married 18 Feb 1873 in Frederick County Maryland...I have a copy of their marriage certificate. It's interesting that Thomas' parents Ezra and Mary Ann (Carty) Ropp were both born in Maryland and married 28 Jul 1835 in Frederick County Maryland as well. I guess the two families kept in touch as the Ropps moved to Sandusky Ohio where Thomas was born and yet after he moved on to Indiana he married Minerva who lived in Frederick Maryland.<br><br>Dennis2014-12-30 04:13:06Zdstockman2http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4017.2.1/mb.ashxRe: Thomas E.

Findagrave.com has several of the family of Thomas Ezra Ropp, but as you wrote, you visited the cemetery and saw the family stones. I checked the Female Marriage INdex but did not find a Wickham marriage, based on deaths of infants, appears they were married before 1874<br><br>This site:<br><a href="http://visions.indstate.edu:8888/cdm/search/collection/wvgs" target="_blank">http://visions.indstate.edu:8888/cdm/search/collection/wvgs</a><br>has some 45 different collections of images of Vigo County, Harrison Township etc. On the left side, you can click on individual areas (probably prefered), or view all 40 areas of information. I looked through a number of them and based on the length of time living in this area, there should be at least one database of image that contains this family. BUT, the info might be rather limited. You might be able to find the location of their home.<br>2014-12-30 01:03:03ZRBestrom7380http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4017.2/mb.ashxRe: Elizabeth Hurst d/oAbsalomhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4018.1/mb.ashx

Ooops! That must have been when I had to work off my laptop with the tiny screen as my main computer with its large monitor was being repaired. Yes, I did mean Boone Co., IN. James and his wife do not have any Jesse given as a son on the various Trees on Ancestry. There are two conflicting Trees with James spouse as Elizabeth Whitehead and the other as Mary Stipps, yet both have the same dates for birth and death.<br><br>I am researching the Thomas Anderson clan which originally started in Lawrence Co., IN. All of their children are listed in the selling of his land in Perry Co. Twp. in 1826. The first child listed is Joshua and his wife, Nancy, Anderson. The next child is Jesse. All of the given children I have been able to find with the exception of Joshua and Nancy. It appears they just dropped of the face of the earth after 1826. Jesse was born 1790 in the East TN area. So Joshua was probably born a few years before. There was a Joshua Anderson in Lawrence Co., IN in very early probate records, but I do not think it is my Joshua. In early census records a Joshua Anderson was located close to the known Andersons siblings. It appears he had a large family. I was wondering if this Jesse (wife Nancy) was perhaps Joshua's first born and named after his brother. <br><br>I do thank you for replying and catching my error.<br><br>Paula 2014-12-20 21:41:52Zhobo_2http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4019.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Peter and Abigail Sanborn Folsomhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4015.1.1/mb.ashx

Hi, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have never found Milton's parents' names, so I can't answer that part of the question. As for siblings, all I have to go by are the names listed in his obituary. It says, "He is survived by the widow and five children...as well as two brothers, Lawrence Humphrey of Detroit, and Frank Humphrey of Indianapolis, and four sisters, Mrs. Ray Potter, Mrs. Minnie Cooper, and Mrs. Myrtle Ramsey, all of Detroit, Michigan, and Mrs. Mary Wallace of Los Angeles, California." I don't know if it will help you any, but the children's names are listed as "Mrs. Logan Woodrum, Mrs. Leo Surber, Earl H. Humphrey (my g'grandfather), Clarence Humphrey, and George Humphrey, all of Greencastle." I thought it might be possible the Emma and Laura you're looking for were the women listed by their husbands' names, but I'm not sure they could've gotten the nickname "Willie" from any of the male names that were mentioned. Do any of these people sound familiar?2014-09-21 20:06:46Zhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/11.670.1.1/mb.ashxRe: DAYhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/11.670/mb.ashx
In searching Ancestry.com for info on my g'g'grandparents, Charles Milton Humphrey and Dora Day, I found your query from 1998. I have Dora's parents as Richard and Margaret J. Day, and Richard's parents as a David Day and Anna Shipley. Would this be the same David Day you mentioned in your posting? I have no dates for David and Anna, but their son Richard was born about 1840, so 1810 seems about right.

Hmmm, the only Bairds I know are the ones I went to high school with in Greencastle (about 20 years ago)! :-) I don't even recognize the other surname, Stearns/Starnes. The dates I have for Milt are: birth, sometime in 1870; death, somewhere between 1935 and 1938. He and his wife married in July 1891. I don't know if this will help, but his obit refers to him as a "prominent Madison township farmer," which led me to believe he must have had a fairly large farm. Always planned on trying to locate some deeds through the Clerk's office, because I was curious about where this farm might've been, but I've never gotten around to it. Does it sound like we have two different families here?2014-09-21 20:01:43Zhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/11.670.1.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Children of Holmes Craver and Amanda Swainhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4016.1.1/mb.ashx

Would anyone be able to search Putnam Co. probate records for a will or estate settlement of either a Moses HAMPTON or a Rachel HAMPTON? The time period for Moses would be after 1840 and probably before 1860. Rachel was still living in 1860. They had a daughter named Hester, whose first husband was James BABER, and whose second husband was Edward HERNDON. Rachel's last known residence was Boone Co., but I'm not sure where she died. She may have had children living in both counties.<br><br>What I really need is a complete list of all the children of Moses HAMPTON and his wife, Rachel.<br><br>I would really appreciate it!!! (and pay for copies, of course)<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Carol Anne2014-03-15 00:07:26ZHamptonDuncanhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/4009/mb.ashxRe: MISSING CLARK FAMILYhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.putnam/553.1.1/mb.ashx

You are very welcome. Not to discourage you but the info I gave you is about all the info you will find in the record. Indiana did not begin to collect supplemental info until the 1880's, so unless one of the was under age and required parental consent, that is all. Not a researcher, just an old man who enjoys doing this as a hobby and to pay back those who helped me when I fist started. Good luck on your search.

Mary Ann Buffington married Elijah Moreland (as transcribed) in Putnam county on 2 May 1841. That is probably all the info contained in this record. Hope this helps.

Mary Ann Buffington had a daughter Sarah Ellen Buffington who was born in 1839 in Brazil, Clay County, Indiana. She was 11 years old on the 1840 Putnam Co, IN census living in Mary's household. From there Sarah disappears. Do you see any marriages for Sarah E. Buffington in Putnam County. The next census I see Elijah Morland on is 1850 and Sarah is gone. I am thinking she was under age when she married. Maybe there is supplemental info. on her marriage there? They lived in Warren Twp, Putnam Co, IN on both these census.
